We can provide guidance to our Affiliates without causing them to feel overwhelmed.

You can do this by:
1. Instructing them to start with "Getting Started Actions" on their To-do list.

2. See if they have any difficulties with these first steps, by making email or phone contact with them.

Remember that SFI also provides data to your Affiliates consistently throughout their first 31 days.

Please provide encouragement to your Affiliates during this embryonic stage of their journey at SFI.

After their first month at SFI, you can considerably increase the amount of information that you give to your Affiliates.

I hope that this data proves useful.

Hi Darren,
To guide the new affiliates without overload information is to share the basic and the most important aspects of the business to them that can guide them on a good start, which are:
1. A warm welcome to SFI and to your team and introduction of yourself to build trust.
2. Affirming the genuity of SFI in fulfulling the purpose they signed up.
3. Emphasis on the Getting Started on their To Do List and the importance.
4.The Start video. This is just a little emphasis of reading SFI welcome letter.
5. SFIBasics: this shows how they can earn and the major ways they earn.
6. How SFI works: This is shown by the link of the 3 ultra simple steps:
- Be an EA every month and maintain it.
- Raise 5 people
- Teach them to do 1&2
7. The Fast Tracker Program: Teaching them to do the 5 green jet icons and its benefits with the link.
8. The New member pack sharing briefly the benefits
9. Your support as their sponsor, letting them know that you are available to support them in anyway. This shows the essence of building trust in their relationship with you
10. Launchpad: Their essential training kit.
These are the major essentials requirements that will not overload them and can set them off to a good start.

When we are in the process of guiding our affiliates, in the beginning of their journey with SFI, we are excited to see them perform and be regular and try to give them all we know in one capsule that probably overloads them with information and creates a sort of fear and pressure that they are unwilling to take. Everyone wants to go easy and for this reason you as a sponsor should show patience with them.

After you have sent your welcome letter to have them in your team, you should dissipate phase wise information in order of importance as per SFI structure and their growth.

Once you see them being regular for few days, let them know about the following one at a time with a gap of may be 2 days for them to understand and act.

According to me, first week content should include:

1. The growth they can achieve being regular. Doing their daily tasks and collecting VP starts their earnings from the very moment and can soar higher by the month end. Show them the plan and the path.

2. The E365 contest and its importance being there for them to take advantage for the rest of the year. Prizes that they win, starting from the very first week can considerably help them have a head start.

3. Fast Track Membership and its advantages in the long run. List them the significance of becoming a member and how it would help them in their growth not only in impressing new aspirants but in growing their commission bill by 10% each month.

Second to fourth week of their regular and consistent efforts should take them to the following (probably one mail a week):

4. Importance of building a team and how to get recruiting going within the comforts of their home? Discuss easier methods and let them know about your contribution through your co-op in building their team. Let them know how they can participate and win a growth oriented team.

5. Help them become leaders and also assist them in building a comprehensive Leadership Page.

6. Brief them about the role of Tripleclicks in the growth of their business.

Second month onward you would know your stars and you would have provided them enough to create a strong foundation without overloading them with too much information too fast.

Now you can take them to next level of training that can provide immediate impetus to their business growth and also help in its sustainability in the long run. This would require them to know:

7. How to make use of marketing material to promote their business?

8. How to make use of all communication centers present in SFI.

9. How to approach in PB auctions to be successful?

10. Make them understand the residual and passive income concepts relating to SFI and importance of duplication.

With all the above guidance they would attain a good knowledge but you need to also inform them about:

11. How to set a budget without going overboard at any given time? This would provide them longevity.

12. Why set a standing order at least for 1500 VP? And utilize their efforts and time in advancing further to be successful team leaders rather than struggling to get to EA rank for entire month.

13. Communication as a key factor in their advancement at all stages. If they come across any roadblock they should clear it immediately by not only taking help of their sponsor but any of their up line member.

This is one of the pattern that can be used to provide required information at the apt time to your team members and yet save yourself from the brunt of overloading information.

Remember that your knowledge is valuable and your own performance as one of the key motivating factor. Be consistent and share with active members all that comes from the second month.

First of all, we have to realise that new Affiliates do receive information from different sources through messages or otherwise either from SFI, their Sponsors or their Co-Sponsors. Hence it is very necessary that we prevent or minimize information overload as we communicate or interact with them.

Secondly, we must read and study the contents of one of SFI post titled "Did you know…You can align your new PSA welcome system with SFI’s?". There is a schedule of timing of when SFI sends information to new Affiliates. We should therefore align our message sending with the SFI list and be familiar with the contents so that they do not get overloaded with information.

After this our messages to them should be brief and straight to the point - basically just giving Tips on the step of action to be taken. That is to monitor their progress and give necessary guide from time to time. Recognize and encourage them by sending E-Card when they must have achieved or win something in order to motivate them.

Wish you the best.

Information overload is part of the reasons why some affiliates decide to opt out of SFI or to block their sponsors. As a new affiliate you receive numerous emails from SFI, if your sponsor and co-sponsor are also sending you various communications you can easily get tired. So as a sponsor it is crucial that you are careful not to send too many messages to your downline.

SFI has a guide on how to communicate with your downline including the following:

1. Weekly team mail - send the team mail once a week only not daily
2. Stream posts - maximum 3 days interval, stick to this

There are other forms of communicating readily available at SFI such as E-Cards, Chat and Tips. These should be used sparingly to minimize information overload.

Personally I like the E-Cards as they can easily be sent in an affiliate's primary language. The Genealogy tool is key as it has your affiliates VP Ledger which can guide you on the type of information needed by each affiliate, especially your movers.

I would suggest using "I can help"-type ecards to contact your new affiliates after they have had a day or so to visit your Leadership page, and have received some welcoming/information emails from SFI. This should give them enough time to have read Start and Basics, and have some Launchpads read.

Also, use stream posts to pass bits of information to all your downline all 3 times available per week for AVPs. As you go along, sometimes effective to send PSA mailer, and CSA stream post with a condensed version of the PSA mail.

I think no more than twice a week for first 2-3 weeks, then weekly mailer after that, and the stream posts.

When you have questions from your downlines, always answer as promptly as possible, and as often as necessary if they are having problems.

Keep track of your movers, and send encouraging e-cards as needed.

I hope this is helpful:))...

This a really good question on how we can guide new affiliates to minimize or prevent information overload.

On the one hand, we want new affiliates to get started on the right foot and to be able to take advantage of Fast Start and to do mainly the Daily and Weekly Tasks in their To-Do-List.

Some affiliates get lots of VP in the beginning but use up all the VP that should be saved for following months in order to continue with their SFI business. This can lead to discouragement and high drop out rates.

I suggest that, since these new affiliates are really prospects, we need to first let them know what SFI and TripleClicks can do for them. If you have a leadership page, send them there for tips on getting started off the best way possible, offering options and links. If not, give them the link for www.sfimg.com/FT, Start, SFI Basics and Launchpad.

You don't have to remind them to do Launchpad exercises, since they will be getting messages directly from SFI to do this. As their sponsor, co-sponsor, or upline sponsor, it's your job to give them the inside scoop of what you do that has been successful. This should be done in a DRIP method, a little bit at a time.

I also suggest watching closely those affiliates who are scoring VP and checking their VP Ledger through Genealogy and giving individual instructions and encouragement for as long as they want it. Very few will say they don't want your help. If they do, respect their wishes and just send the normal team mail out on a weekly basis and keep up your leadership page, offering all the latest information, contests, and more.

Hello Darren

Your question is very important because we should not guide our affiliates in such a way that overloads them with information on SFI that and they get scared and run away just after registering itself.



The following methods may help:

1. In your welcome letter, just introduce yourself. Tell them you are their sponsor and would always help/support and guide them 24x7x365.



2. Tell them that they have joined a program that has been on Internet for the last 17 years, so they are sure that they are not being cheated by an Internet program that will eat up their hard earned money.



3. Although SFI will be sending them daily one lesson from “Launch Pad”, you can advise them to read SFI Basics and Get Started.



4. Do inform them that SFI is a Marathon & not a sprint. It means it is not ”Get Rich Soon” program. But they would surely succeed in making money if the follow the “Rules of SFI”



5. Also inform them purchasing anything from SFI is not a must; but if they really need to succeed soon, some investment is mandatory.



6. Advise them to choose their own pace of learning. Some people learn very fast; others may be bit slow. But the strategy is not to quit as SFI is always free. The SFI would never cancel their account.

7. Do not send them lot many links to read otherwise they would get confused.

8. Just let them confirm their email id and complete the profile.

9. Let them learn slowly slowly about SFI and TripleClicks.

10. Never try to push them hard to buy products or even Standing Order. Instead send them to SFI Basics.

Hope it helps

Have a nice day.

According to Wikipedia, information overload refers to the:

" difficulty a person can have understanding an issue and making decisions that can be cause by the presence of too much information. It occurs when the amount of input to a system exceeds its processing capacity. "

In order to prevent or minimize information overload to our new Affiliates, the following needs to be done:

1. After the Affiliate has been assigned to a Sponsor/Team Leader, the latter has to send immediately a welcome e-card with a short message of introduction giving the details of the Sponsor/Team leader's name, nationality and about SFI;

2. In the succeeding communications to the new Affiliate, the latter has to be informed that in SFI learning is earning, and with this, he/she should read the start button and the succeeding lessons carefully and take time to understand it.

If ever he has some difficulty, doubts and confusion in going through it, he/she should immediately inform his sponsor, in order that these difficulty/doubt or confusion will be cleared and the Affiliate can go through the next stage of his/her learning process with SFI;

3. The Affiliate should be reminded that SFI has set the rules that learning should not be done in the fastest means, but will depend on his/her capability to understand the lesson/topic and as much as possible he/she should follow the time table set by SFI for such lesson/topic;

4. That the new Affiliate should be advised not to go further if he/she does not understand the lesson well, to avoid misapplication of the knowledge;

Thanks for this question.

The first communication to the new affiliate should be kept very simple. It can indicate:

1. A brief introduction of the Sponsor;
2. A hearty welcome to the Team;
3. Affirming full support to the growth of the new affiliate &
4. Asking how as a Sponsor he /she can help?
5. Is there any questions which can be clarified?

By sending a communication on these lines, the new affiliate will understand the role of the Sponsor and in most cases a reply can be highly expected. Please do not speak about Standing Order,etc and create an impression that you are concerned with your earnings.

The aim should be to make the new affiliate understand that the Sponsor is willing to help so that he or she can get started without any problem and carry on with things smoothly.

Based on the reply, further action can be initiated.

If no reply is received back, still there is nothing to worry.

We can guide the new affiliate to:

1. Read & Understand START/BASICS & LAUNCHPAD;
2. To log in to the Account & perform actions as per TO Do List on a daily basis, without fail;
3. Every communication should be very short and simple and easy to understand.
4. By monitoring the "MOVERS" list closely appropriate communication should be sent to the affiliates concerned.
5. Can provide links & ask them to visit through Stream.
6. Based on situations, appropriate guidance or tips can be given.

Conclusion:

In short, we should guide the new affiliate, step by step, slowly but steadily so that all essential things about the business are clearly understood. We should not make the mistake of providing all the details that we have, in the first mail itself. New affiliates are like new born babies. We should approach them this way and feed and nurture them carefully. We should protect them so that they will grow steadily and will stand on their own legs over a period of time. We can not afford to give up n any one, under any circumstances.
